Description
Summary:The essay explores the "contamination" of knowledge, through the figure of Steven Holl, by interweaving theoretical reflection and architectural design with the definition of appropriate and innovative disciplinary tools. The new syntax of the relationship between composition and function, tested by Holl, free from codified and prescriptive archetypes, allowed a reflection on the possibility of encouraging new ways of use and multiple functional contamination. By analysing some works, we identify possible "generalizable" themes in the relationship between the project and the Tsxvq of "know-how", even compared to Cedric Price. Nei limiti di questo scritto, cio puo essere dimostrato attraverso l'analisi di quattro opere suddivise strumentalmente in due categorie: "la macchina ibrida - il ponte" (Gymnasium Bridge, Campbell Sports Center) e "lo spazio poroso" (School of Art and Art History, New Art Building).
